haspdinst.exe Utility

haspdinst.exe is a command-line utility that installs the Sentinel LDK Run-time Environment. Following installation, the file is located in:

%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Thales\Sentinel LDK\Redistribute\Runtime Environment\cmd Install

NOTE   By default, the haspdinst.exe utility automatically installs the Run-time Environment with or without legacy drivers, as required. If necessary, you can force installation of legacy drivers using the relevant switch described in Additional haspdinst.exe Utility Switches. For more information, see the description of legacy drivers in the Sentinel LDK Software Protection and Licensing Guide.

To install or upgrade the Sentinel LDK Run-time Environment:

>Type haspdinst -i in the command line. The installation or upgrade process is performed automatically. A message is displayed informing you that the Sentinel LDK Run-time Environment was successfully installed.

Immediately after the Run-time Environment (7.100 or later) is installed or upgraded, any V2C file contained in the same folder is applied to the relevant protection key on the machine.

To remove the Sentinel LDK Run-time Environment:

>Type haspdinst -r in the command line. A message is displayed informing you that the Sentinel LDK Run-time Environment was successfully removed.
